Personally, my main Linux usage so far has been the Steam Deck, which uses an immutable version of Arch Linux on which Flatpaks are the primary means of software installation.

The other main multi-distribution package formats seem to be Snaps and AppImages. AppImages seem to work anywhere, due to being self-contained, while Snaps have a dependency that appears to make them a viable alternative to flatpaks on systems other than the Steam Deck, which can’t easily make use of Snaps due to the immutability of SteamOS. There’s also Nix packages, though they don’t seem to be as prevalent as the other three.

Otherwise, most major Linux distributions also have their own native package formats, such as Deb packages for Debian and Ubuntu, Pacman for Arch Linux, and RPM for Red Hat and Fedora.

Not sure how difficult it is to maintain different Linux packages types for a program, but thanks for your effort to bring Blorp to Linux!

Will the Linux version be available as a Flatpak?

The feature works as expected for communities, for which it’s up to community moderators to label their communities as being NSFW or not. Maybe the community you found wasn’t set as NSFW for some reason?

Not sure how it’s set on a per-instance basis, but it definitely doesn’t seem particularly useful in its present form for filtering instances if most SFW communities are from instances counted as NSFW by the Lemmy Explorer filter. A small problem in relative terms, but still something I thought was worth making note of. 👍

Thanks for the heads up; so many great customization features, should have checked more thoroughly first! 👍

Should’ve checked the configuration options more thoroughly first; thanks again for the help!

Something that only it seems to have, versus the others I compared it to, is a “headline” view for the feed. It’s essentially an extra compact version of the compact view, putting the post’s community name in line with the upvote, downvote, comment counts and post age. Only saves a bit of space compared to the comparison I made a few minutes ago in trying Thunder’s compact view, but most of all it makes the feed less cluttered, in my opinion.

Arctic on iOS; prefer it to Voyager, Mlem, and Thunder due to having more customization options.

Hopefully at least half of them stick around; the MAU count is much more impactful in terms of post frequency and variety than the total number of users in general.

Until Andy Yen is made to step down from Proton and Proton disavows political alignment with any political party, rather than the PR equivalent of them “keeping their opinions to themselves”, switching to Proton shouldn’t be encouraged.

Never in anything I wrote did I say that any Palestinian deserves the horrors that Israel has inflicted and continues to inflict upon them.

While I am against the actions of Hamas, since terrorism won’t solve anything, Israel has committed crimes far worse in comparison (approximately 60,000 Palestinians killed versus approximately 1,000 Israelis). There’s no doubt that Israel has gone far and beyond their stated goal of terrorism prevention to instead make progress towards their goal of clearing Gaza out for Israeli settlement.

The problem is that most Americans don’t share my view on the issue of Palestine, and still view the Palestinians as instigators of violence, which is among the reasons why neither the republicans nor democrats were ever going to drop support for Israel. The best course of action, in my opinion, would have been to pick Harris to at least get the better long-term course of action for Palestine, rather than the increased risk of Israeli expansionism after Trump’s re-election.

The most frustrating part of getting banned from there is that having echo chambers like that decreases the likelihood that new Lemmy users will stick around.

Palestinians have my full sympathy and the Israeli government my full ire, with the past year’s bloodshed demonstrating that an independent Palestine being necessary and long overdue if there’s to be any chance of a long term peace.

My problem with the moderator’s comments was twofold. First, they themselves are demonstrating an extremist position in suggesting that terrorism committed in retribution to Israel’s war crimes is in any way acceptable. While I can sympathize with there being few other meaningful options available when Israel has the US as an ally, any hope of meaningful political support for the Palestinian cause—something will only degrade further under Trump—is lost if Israel is no longer seen as the aggressor. Resistance is one thing, terrorism is another.

Secondly, setting the goalposts of success as being the proclamation of a ceasefire was meaningless, given that they now have Trump’s support to gradually expel the remaining Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank and establish additional Israeli settlements. Like him or not, Biden was at the very least against that, something that means a lot more in terms of the long term ability for Palestinians to remain in Palestine.

Having been banned, I can’t interact with any posts on there now unfortunately, so just added it to my block list. More importantly, however, the more echo chambers that people establish on Lemmy, the harder it’ll be to attract new users to the platform.

If that was indeed the reason, then that only serves to support the notion that general disagreement, rather than just extremism, is what is being banned from that community. They have every right to ban advocates of genocide for extremism, but in no way do I think that supporting Palestine without supporting Hamas is a position worthy of a ban.

While Doom running in unexpected ways is neat, it’s not so great if it depends on non-standard browser components.
